Line 20:
* Misspellings (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[Magical Grrl]]</nowiki></code> to [[Magical Girl]]).
* Abbreviations (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[WoT]]</nowiki></code> to either [[Wall of Text]], ''[[World of Tanks]]'' or ''[[The Wheel of Time]]''). At least one admin goes out of his way to turn "abbreviation" redirects into on-topic [[All The Tropes:Creating Disambiguation Pages|disambiguation pages]], since it's very rare for an abbreviation to mean only one thing.
* Variations in capitalization (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[On The Beach]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[On the Beach]]''). ''Especially'' if the variant capitalization runs counter to our [[All The Tropes:Style Guide#Capitalization|style guidelines]].
* Shortened versions of a work name (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[First Men in the Moon]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[The First Men in the Moon]]'').
* Specific examples (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[KMF]]</nowiki></code> to [[Humongous Mecha]]).
